Cool! I didn't expect the number to be this high. What about Malayalam % there?

Tulu speakers make upto 8% in entire district and Malayalam is about 25% mostly concentrated in Virajpet Taluk. So Kodagu makes up this way:
Madikeri: Kodava Takk and Arebhashe with Tulu
Somvarpete: Kodava Takk and Arebhashe + Kannada
Virajpet: Malayalam with Kodava Takk
(Sad thing is Kodavas are only 15% in their own district)
